Chapter 1156

"Are you going to kill me if I refuse to tell you?" Stefan asked with a vague smile, fearless even as she stared at the

knife in Renee's hand.

"I won't kill you-but I'll skin you and watch you bleed! You'd wish you were dead... unless you return my brother!"

Renee was not joking-Quinton was her flesh and blood, a progeny of their parents. She would never allow anyone to

hurt him!

"You seem more agitated," Stefan pointed out, still unfazed." Does that mean your brother is more important to you

than your own partner?"

"Yes!" Renee readily admitted to it. "Family is more important than anything. If you lay a finger on him, I won't

hesitate to kill you."

"What if your brother hurts the love of your life?" Stefan pressed.

Renee frowned, but said with a cool glare, "If that does happen, I will die with my beloved, and let my brother live!"

She had no chance of knowing back then that it was an exchange that would become very relevant years down the

line!

Nonetheless, Stefan calmly said, "Quinton is being punished for his own misdeeds. He challenged us by destroying

our merchandise-our retaliation is just, if only to make him understand that some rules are not meant to be

broken."

"I can admit that his methods can be radical, and I will compensate you for any losses you've sustained. We can talk

about this, as long as you agree to release him..." Renee was convinced that problems solved by money were no

problems at all. Moreover, Quinton had been impatient for results over the last couple of years, so he had

repeatedly sabotaged H Group's business operations. It was no different from trying to steal food from a lion, and

was basically suicidal.

It was just a matter of time that Stefan's retaliation reached Quinton, and Renee felt humbled since Stefan had the

moral high ground... even though she had Stefan tied up, and a knife pressed to his neck.

"Really? We can talk about this?" Stefan sneered, gesturing at his hands restrained with his own necktie. "Is this how

we're going to do it?"

"Well... I didn't want to tie you up, but you were getting frisky. Who knows what would happen if I didn't restrain

you?" Renee retorted with righteous indignation.

She took a moment to calm herself, and gingerly touched his hair, saying, "Be good now-l'll free you, but the

condition is that you have to release my brother. Okay?"

"Free me, and I'll think about it."

"No, you have to say yes!"

"You have to free me for me to make the call.”

"Is that a yes?" Renee's eyes lit up, surprised that Stefan gave in despite him being as stubborn as an ox.

"A gentleman's word is golden. Don't go back on it!" Renee warned him. "I've tied you up once, and I can certainly

do it again."

"Cut the crap and free me already!" Stefan snapped impatiently-he had never suffered so much in his life!
